erm, also -- starlings don't build twig nests, they nest in holes, and usually communally. Blue Jay, Robin, Mourning Dove (particularly careless nesters, often within view of a window, and nests fall apart easily) are all possibilities. None of them will feed their young seeds, though: it's a high-protein diet only for them all until fledging at least. And the sound of the babies isn't really a squawk, it's always pretty high-pitched.

American Robins are not like English Robins. grump.
Other choices: Thrasher, Mockingbird (another v. loud aggressive species: "If that Mockingbird don't sing . . . we'll be really surprised . . . even when it's the middle of the night"), Catbird, Redstart (a pleasant, pretty, small species, a flycatching warbler) . . . hm, I'll look through my bird book and see if there's anything with a particularly nice name.
